Laura Taylor Kinnel, of Newtown, Pa., teaches math and is the director of studies at a Friends boarding school near Philadelphia. This is her sixth crossword for The Times, most of them Sundays.

For her son's wedding last June, the couple asked Laura to construct a crossword for their outdoor reception. The result was printed on a large foam board and guests worked on it with dry erase markers. The completed puzzle now hangs in the newlyweds' living room.

Gustie Owens, of New York City, is a research assistant at MDRC, a nonprofit education, and social policy research organization. She has been solving crosswords since middle school. Once in history class, her teacher announced to her from across the room, "12-Across is ALLIGATOR." She realized that the puzzle she was doing was reflected in her glasses.

Last spring, while a senior at Barnard, she was a member of The Times's first Diverse Crossword Construction Fellowship program. This is her first puzzle in the paper.

Adam Wagner, of Oakland, Calif., is a creative lead at the San Francisco-based 1-Down. (Solve the puzzle to find out who!) He's been constructing crosswords for The Times for two years.

This one started with the answers at 85- and 86- Down and branched out, literally, from there. Recently Adam released Anigrams, a free daily online word game that I find almost as addictive as Wordle. — W.S.

Joe Deeney, of Melrose, Mass., is a supply chain director for Philips, a health technology company based in Amsterdam. He's been solving crosswords for as long as he can remember.

In 2015 he was solving one he wasn't particularly fond of and thought, "I can do better than that!" This is Joe's 14th Times crossword and his first Sunday. He's now had a puzzle published on every day of the week — a personal goal.

Sam Donaldson is a law professor at Georgia State University, teaching Property to first-year students and Federal Income Tax and Trusts & Estates to upper-division ones. He's been making crosswords for The Times since 2008. Typically his grids have lots of lively vocabulary.

Sam writes, "This is one of those puzzles where solvers might not realize the theme until after they're done, so I wanted the process of getting to the finish line to be as enjoyable as possible."

Michael Lieberman, of Washington, D.C., is an attorney at Fairmark Partners LLP, a consumer-protection firm. This is his ninth Times crossword in two years. It started when the Billy Joel title "We Didn't Start the Fire" morphed in his head into "ennui didn't start the fire." That didn't make much sense, but it did make him laugh. He went searching for other such transformations to build a puzzle around.

Daniel Bodily, of Woodbury, Minn., is a robotics research engineer. Jeff Chen, of Seattle, is a professional writer and crossword constructor. Previously they collaborated on the Lincoln Memorial-themed puzzle that appeared in May.

The idea for this one was Dan's and started with 63-Across. He pondered the idea for months before reaching out to Jeff. A slew of attempts at construction ensued. "It's really fun to see where the dust settles," Dan says, "after raw ideas are filtered through the constraints of the dictionary and the grid."

Paolo Pasco is a recent Harvard graduate, now working in data science in San Diego. He's been making puzzles for The Times since he was 15. His job interview was partly about crosswords and included a programming problem to find words Boggle-style in a grid. How lucky was that? He says he thought of this puzzle's theme during a class back in April and fleshed it out while walking back to his dorm.

Kathy Bloomer, of Seattle, is a retired hospital pediatrician. Constructing crosswords developed out of her love for solving Diagramless puzzles, which involve a similar sort of logic. This is her second Times crossword, after her debut in 2018.

She has had lots of attempts that didn't quite make it. Kathy jokes, "I am working on a book I am going to call ‘Best Puzzles Rejected by The New York Times.'"

Meghan Morris is an appellate public defender in Denver, where she lives with her partner and twin kindergarteners. She got into crosswords at the University of North Carolina, where she did them in The Daily Tar Heel.

"I can't promise that I never worked on a crossword in class." She adds, "My college roommate recently reminded me that she and I would bemoan when the crossword was on the fold, because then it was hard to do discreetly."

Katie Hale, originally from Houston, is now a stay-at-home mom in London. This is her fifth Sunday Times crossword since 2021.

She works on puzzles when her girls, 6 and 9, are in school or after they've gone to bed. "I like to try and come up with themes during times when I might otherwise be mindlessly staring at my phone, like on the bus. I think the moments when I'm out in the world, hearing other people talk, but not directly to me, are the best times to find inspiration."

Tina Labadie lives in London, Ontario. This is her first New York Times crossword. It has one of my favorite kinds of themes — one offering many different "ahas." The example at 118-Across, at the bottom of the puzzle, is a little different from the others, like the kicker of a joke.

As a construction fillip, every letter in the alphabet is used at least once in the completed grid.

Greg Slovacek is a software engineer from San Francisco. This is his first published crossword. He finds puzzlemaking similar in a way to programming — both involve problem-solving within constraints.

He enjoys puzzles that have layers to be uncovered, which is certainly true of today's.

Scott Hogan is making his New York Times debut with this puzzle, after many submissions. He is a patent attorney from Midland, Mich. Christina Iverson is a crossword constructor and editor from Ames, Iowa. They met through the Cruciverb Facebook page, a forum for crossword constructors.

Scott says he takes inspiration from the lyric of "Movin' On Up," the theme song from "The Jeffersons" — "It took a whole lotta tryin', just to get up that hill.'"

Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Tex., is a software engineer who makes mobile games. He's been constructing crosswords for The Times since 2007, specializing in unusual themes often with visual elements. The idea for this one occurred to him last fall while he was stopped at a traffic light. It took him several months, off and on, to work out all the elements.

This is Jeremy's 15th Sunday crossword and 22nd Times puzzle overall.

Christina Iverson, of Ames, Iowa, is the assistant crossword editor for The Los Angeles Times. Katie Hale is a stay-at-home mom in London, England.

The idea for this puzzle started with Katie. She had a few minutes to kill while waiting for an online course to start. As she stared at a copy of "The Great Gatsby," the phrase THROW A FITZGERALD popped into her head. She laughed … and started adding syllables to other authors' names. Some of the results are shown here. This is Christina's and Katie's third Sunday collaboration for The Times.

David, Karen, and Paul Steinberg live in Pacific Grove, Calif. David is the puzzles and games editor for the Andrews McMeel Universal media company. Karen and Paul are his parents — also longtime puzzle enthusiasts.

The idea for this one was Paul's. David wrote a program to generate possible theme entries. When the standard 21 x 21-square grid couldn't be made to work for the theme, Karen suggested changing the grid size, which was successful.

Karen and David did the fill and Paul look the lead on the clues. This is the Times's first all-family crossword collaboration.

Matthew Stock works for a math education nonprofit in East St. Louis, Ill. Chandi Deitmer, of Cambridge, Mass., is a social worker in the fields of psychiatry and geriatrics.

Matthew was making a themeless puzzle a few years ago and his constructing software suggested [41-Across] and [49-Across] in adjacent spots. That didn't work out, but he tucked the thought away. A fan of Chandi's last Times crossword, he asked if she'd like to collaborate on this one.

Brandon Koppy works for a digital ad agency in Austin, Tex. He has two girls, 2 and 4 years old — which he calls "black hole ages" that seem to consume all his time.

This puzzle started with a general idea and a title (above). Once he decided on the puzzle's "meta" answer, he was off to the races. After you've finished solving, look for an appropriate bonus phrase.

Emet Ozar, formerly from Los Angeles but currently in Charlotte, N.C., is a program manager for a software company. She and her wife have three children, all under 6. She finds crosswords appealing partly because they can be picked up and set down easily, which is helpful due to constant interruptions from the kids.

She credits the Crossword Puzzle Collaboration Directory on Facebook for helping her develop her construction skills. This is Emet's New York Times debut.

David W. Tuffs, of Pacific Grove, Calif., is a fourth-year linguistics student at the University of California Santa Cruz. In his spare time he writes for his school's satirical newspaper, Fishrap Live!

This is his third crossword for The Times, and his first Sunday. Planning the theme involved "manually sifting through endless lists" of words — which sounds tedious, but he enjoyed doing it.

Byron Walden, a math and computer science professor at Santa Clara University, is a regular crossword contributor to The Times. He says the idea for this puzzle started with the title. "I learned the phrase ‘soft option' from the [1986] Pet Shop Boys hit ‘West End Girls,'" and everything sprang from there.

Byron packs his grids with fresh vocabulary, like 20A, 35A, 53A, 70A, 86A, 105A, 51D and 61D, none of which have ever appeared in a Times crossword before.

August Lee-Kovach is a freshman at Concord-Carlisle High School, in Concord, Mass. He started solving crosswords with his family when he was 9. Someone would read the clues aloud and anyone could call out answers. He started constructing puzzles by himself when he was 11.

This is his third Times puzzle, starting last October, and his first Sunday. At 14 years 11 months, August is the youngest known person ever to have a Sunday crossword in the paper.

Christina Iverson is a crossword constructor in Ames, Iowa. Katie Hale is a stay-at-home mom in London, England. They met online two years ago. This is their 11th and fourth Times puzzles, respectively, and their second Sunday collaboration.

They say that for a complex theme and tricky construction, as here, "It's helpful to bounce ideas back and forth … and nice to have a partner to motivate you to get it right."

Matthew Stock works for a math education nonprofit in East St. Louis, Ill. Will Nediger, of London, Ontario, is a professional crossword constructor. As fans of each other's work, they connected via the online "puzzleverse." They still have not met or even spoken together over video.

The original idea for this puzzle was Matthew's. Together they developed the theme via Twitter direct messages, then exchanged grids back and forth until they got one they were both happy with.

Stephen McCarthy, originally from Vancouver Island, B.C., is a Ph.D. student studying transportation modeling in Stockholm, Sweden. This is his third Sunday Times crossword and his fourth Times puzzle overall.

There is a little trick to this one, as you'll discover, and your solution may not match everyone else's. The middle part of the grid was the most challenging to construct.

Nancy Stark, of New York City, is a writer, lyricist and former editor for the Literary Guild book club. Will Nediger, of London, Ontario, is a professional crossword constructor.

Nancy thought of this puzzle's theme (at 4:00 a.m. one night when she couldn't sleep), they brainstormed examples of it, Will constructed the grid and they both wrote the clues. This is their sixth collaboration for The Times.

Derrick Niederman, of Charleston, S.C., teaches mathematics at the College of Charleston. This is his 12th crossword in The Times, not counting variety puzzles, beginning in 1983 — all Sundays.

On March 7 last year the paper published an amazing novelty challenge by Derrick, "Two-for-One Crossword," that had two completely different solutions. After you finish today's puzzle, that's worth looking up, if you haven't done it yet.

Timothy Polin, of Central City, Pa., has been making crosswords for The Times since 2011. This is his 55th one for the paper and his eighth Sunday.

He specializes in puzzles with visuals in the grids — like a Jaws-themed crossword in 2018, in which you could connect five squares in the solution containing the letters F-I-N to form a picture of a shark's fin. Today's puzzle isn't quite as unusual, but it's close.

Paolo Pasco, of San Diego, is a senior at Harvard studying computer science. He sold his first crossword to The Times when he was 15. This is his 22nd puzzle for the paper. He wrote a program to help him find examples of its theme.

Regarding Paolo's plans for after graduation, he isn't sure. "I'm just counting on someone to read this blurb and think, ‘Now there's a guy I want to offer a job to!'"
